Jennkay drank Brioche Organic Tea by American Tea Room

592 tasting notes

After seeing this tea show up on my dashboard in others’ tasting notes so many times, I had to try it for myself! So thank you to bluebelle for sending some my way! Even though I’ve seen people sing praises about this tea, I was still blown away by how spot on it was. The dry leaf smelled like freshly baked pastries. The tea also somehow tastes like freshly baked pastry and cinnamon.
Usually with teas that emulate cakes or other desserts, I feel like there is something missing. Whatever that something is, this tea has it. I guess it just balances well between being overly artificial and being too weakly flavored. I may have to make an order with American Tea Room soon!

Flavors: Bread, Cinnamon

Bio

I’m a California girl temporarily located in Boston for school (brrr). I only recently got into teas because I’ve never really liked coffee (too bitter), but I have been a daily barley tea drinker since I was little.

Through some timid tastings and exploring, I so far like:
-Japanese green teas (genmaicha, hojicha, sencha, etc)
-Oolongs! (Most kinds except formosa and dan cong so far)
-Straight black teas
-English Breakfast teas
-Fruity teas (peach, apple, strawberry, other berries)

NOT a huge fan of rooibos, matcha, heavily artificial tasting teas, or anything gingery or peppery, but I’m trying to keep an open mind and taste everything that I can!

I’m trying to sample more straight teas and have been having pretty awesome discoveries so far. Thank goodness for sample sizes!

My tentative rating system:
90-100: Woohoo! I’m loving it, and I’m definitely restocking when I get the chance and/or crying when I’m out.

80-90: Yum! I’ll try to restock if it fits in my budget when I run out.

70-80: Probably would not buy again, but it was nice enough to finish the cup.

50-70: Would not choose this tea for myself if given the situation, but would not reject it if someone offered it to me and would gulp down politely.

50 or less: Nope. Don’t care to taste that tea again, sorry!

I’m always down to swap, so send me a message if anything in my cupboard is calling your name!
